Poll question: Will you vote for the Dem (whomever it is) come November?
Do you care about the Supreme Court?
DO you care about a Democratic Majority in the next several elections to come?
Do you realize that it is bigger than Hillary or Barack?

1. The SCOTUS is THE most important thing to me!
It has the LONGEST LASTING affect on everybody! We CAN'T let the Pubs pack the court!

2. I will never, ever vote for Hillary Clinton
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 06:36 PM by HamdenRice
Like millions of other people. If she's the nominee, I'll vote straight Democratic Party ticket except the top. Either I won't vote or will vote Green, which helps keep them on the ballot in NY.

7. A few minutes ago I got a phone call "on behalf of Hillary Clinton"
The guy started into his spiel, and I interrupted. I almost blurted out "Not just no, but hell no"; instead I said "I'll NEVER vote for a DLC member".

9. Agreed
I also live in a state that the Democrats never win for president. There is no way in hell I'd ever waste my vote on Clinton. Voting for the Green's candidate helps them keep ballot access anyway.

3. I voted 'yes.'
But if it's Hillary, I will in no way support the campaign. I will only hold my nose for the umpteenth time and vote for what smells less awful.

Of course, there's always the "vote for Cthulhu" slogan: "Why settle for the lesser of two evils?" ;-)

4. The Democratic Congress can get so much more done with a Dem POTUS. Regardless of how I feel about
our nominee, I will vote for that person if only to empower the Congress and protect it from that evil Repug veto pen!

8. Of course. It will suck tremendously, but I'll vote for Tweedledee or Tweedledum.
Depending on which one it is.

10. If you're a patriotic American or a true Democrat...you WILL vote in this election.
If no, then you are neither of the above. Plain and simple FACT!

12. Just little ole fashioned me!
Well when one declares them self a Democrat...and doesn't care enough to vote and help our president pass our issues... and doesn't care to help select a SC that effects our daily lives and values...and doesn't want to
help the poor and middle class gets their heads above water...and doesn't care to help stop the corp pigs from pigging out on profits from our companies and corporations...and wants to help make defense contractors rich by raiding our treasury...........need I go on any further? :shrug:

If you don't care to do every thing in your power to accomplish these goals then you can't possibly consider yourself a good Democrat. IMHO
You go ahead and help the Thugs win this election if you want. That's your perogetive...but I certainly wouldn't admire your thinking or voting record. What's one more or less vote anyway?
